I am yet to encounter a day, and it's been this way for a while now, where I haven't wanted to do some form of activity. Before one day end's I have plans for the next day. Can't help it, it's the way I roll. I do believe that this will stand me in good sted for what lays ahead. I try to make all my training sessions varied as I find that if I start to repeat myself I get bored. That's also how I roll. Variety is the spice of life. It keeps me interested and wanting to keep going back for more. Repetition is a killer for me.

So today I hit the pools again. Below is my session:

500m Freestyle warm up

10x50m kick with flippers F/s up, Bk/s down

Ladder 50, 100, 150, 200, 150, 100, 50

12x25m medley

300m cool down

I changed it up a bit, I love the kick so that stays for me. I really get a good burn. Lactic acid builds very quickly so when I hit the end of the pool I just let my legs hang. No standing on them, just total non-weight bear hang- feels great. Today's session totalled 2400m, not bad. I am feeling strong. The thought of the 70.3 is never far from my mind when I train and it is my sole driving force. I want to be ready, strong, mentally alert and focused.

After the hour spent in the pool I toddled off to have my first Ultrasound of my right knee and then tomorrow I have one of my left knee. Fingers crossed there is nothing, and if there is let it be minor. I will wait for the results and then book in to see a sports physiotherapist. I need to start asking around for a good one in the area.

Do you like Gels, Chomps or Brews? Personally after my my experience I think I am heading down the path of a Chomp. If you haven't tried any then here is your chance to win a fine selection of GU Energy Gels, Electrolyte Brew, Recovery Brew and Chomps. All you have to do is visit "Midwest Triathlon Life" and follow the instructions. Follow Kovas journey and get in the running to win.

Your hard work will be rewarded.
